A. We provide a number of channels for employees to find summer work and extend their stay. Most companies we work with will organise the necessary paper work but in some cases individuals are required to do this themselves. You are not limited to the companies we offer you, there are many agencies that are able to extend H2B visas and find work for you.

If you have a need to see a medical practitioner however small the ailment you will be charged a fee. Basic medical insurance is a necessity.
Q. What should I expect from my time working in a ski resort?
A. Working in a ski resort is an exciting time, lots of new friends and wonderful opportunities to ski and snowboard. The reality sinks in after 4 weeks that its not a holiday and the work can be hard. Being homesick is a natural emotion; at some point all employees feel this way. We do not hide the fact that working in a ski resort can be tough, however the rewards are great. We do ask all our applicants to consider if they are up for the task ahead and if they are mentally and physically prepared for it?
